Welcome to 1200 Iowa Street in Cherokee, Iowa — a spacious ranch-style home offering over 5,500 total square feet of living space on a beautifully sized 1.57-acre lot on the northwest edge of town. This well-built home combines room to spread out with thoughtful updates, scenic outdoor features, and the privacy that is rarely found within city limits.
The main level features an inviting open-concept layout centered around a stunning kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and generous workspace. The adjoining dining area showcases a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, while the living room offers a large built-in entertainment center and a second fireplace, creating multiple cozy gathering spaces throughout the home.
The spacious primary suite provides a private retreat complete with a walk-in closet and a brand-new custom shower. New flooring adds a fresh, updated feel throughout the home. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom round out the main floor.
The fully finished walkout lower level dramatically expands the living space with one conforming bedroom, an additional non-conforming bedroom, a full bathroom, office/bonus room, laundry area, storage room, multiple recreation and game areas, and a large family room featuring another gas fireplace. Whether you need space for guests, hobbies, a home office, fitness equipment, or entertaining, this versatile lower level offers endless possibilities.
Step outside and enjoy one of the property's most impressive features — a beautifully landscaped backyard complete with a stunning water feature, mature trees, and abundant wildlife. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, hosting friends, or unwinding after a long day, the outdoor setting offers a peaceful retreat with a country-like feel while still being located in town. The current hot tub will be removed by the sellers, but the electrical hookups and setup will remain in place, making it easy for the next owner to install a hot tub of their choosing.
The oversized attached garage features two overhead doors but offers enough interior space to accommodate up to three vehicles. Abundant off-street parking and the rare opportunity to own 1.57 acres within Cherokee city limits further enhance this exceptional property.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, over 5,500 square feet of finished living space, three fireplaces, recent flooring updates, a beautifully updated primary shower, and a truly remarkable outdoor setting, this property offers the space, comfort, and versatility that are increasingly difficult to find. If you've been searching for a home that provides room to live, work, entertain, and enjoy nature without sacrificing the conveniences of town, 1200 Iowa Street deserves a closer look.
